Chapter 1 The Construction and Planning of Stone Forest City

After issuing the unlocking order, Shi Feng also began to work on the construction and planning of Stone Forest City.

Stone Forest City was, after all, a newly promoted city. Even though it already had many buildings, they seemed sparse for Stone Forest City, which had expanded several times in size. At most, about one million players could live and rest normally in Stone Forest City.

This was also a disadvantage of promoted cities. Cities that were built from scratch did not have this problem at all.

Although the existing buildings in Stone Forest City were sufficient for the current players, as the players' levels and skills continued to improve, not only expert players would come, but many ordinary players could easily enter the first level of the Bottomless Abyss to level up.

In order to allow more players to live and rest in Stone Forest City, it was necessary to start planning in advance. Good planning could not only increase the price of shops and private residences, but also be crucial for the future development of the city.

While Shi Feng, in the City Lord's Mansion, was planning the construction of the entire Stone Forest City, the major kingdom and empire forces far away in the Ancient Undead Kingdom also received the news that Stone Forest City had been unblocked.

For a time, the major forces were in an uproar.

"Such a treasure land is now open to the public. Zero Wing is too crazy!"

"What a big move!"

"A Heavenly God-ranked regional副本 (fùběn, instance dungeon)! To just let people use it casually, what is Zero Wing thinking?"

The major forces were very concerned about the battle of Stone Forest City, and they were also very clear about the significance of Stone Forest City. It could be said that obtaining Stone Forest City gave them a huge advantage in攻略 (gōnglüè, strategizing) the Bottomless Abyss, leading other forces by an unknown amount.

But Zero Wing was good, directly opening Stone Forest City...

At this time, not only the major ordinary forces, but even the major super forces were stunned.

Although they all understood that Stone Forest City would be opened to the public sooner or later, because it was not difficult to walk from the outer edge of the Bottomless Abyss into the first level. In at most ten days and a half months, not to mention their major super forces, even the experts of the major first-rate guilds and top adventurer teams could level up on the first level of the Bottomless Abyss.

At that time, the advantage of Stone Forest City would also be greatly reduced. Even if Zero Wing didn't want to, it would gradually open Stone Forest City to make money, after all, the income would outweigh the advantage at that time.

But they did not expect it to be so fast, it was like throwing away an advantage that was within easy reach.

"A Heavenly God-ranked regional副本 (fùběn, instance dungeon)? This is a good opportunity for our adventurer team to rise. In the past, the major forces always controlled the high-resource areas first, so we had no chance to compete. Now that the opportunity is equal, I don't believe we can't compete with those big forces!"

"Directly open, this Zero Wing is really amazing, they don't want such an opportunity. Those super forces probably wouldn't dare to do this, right? The Bottomless Abyss has not been荒 (huāng, reclaimed/cultivated) yet. If we go, we can get some treasures from it, and the guild's strength will definitely be further improved."

...

The direct opening of Stone Forest City immediately caused the forces of the major kingdoms and empires to take action, sending a large number of experts all to Stone Forest City.

Currently, the major high-resource areas of God's Domain were controlled by the major super forces. Originally, the Bottomless Abyss was no exception. After all, the weapons and equipment currently owned by the major super forces were not comparable to ordinary forces. By the time ordinary forces were ready to start攻略 (gōnglüè, strategizing) the Bottomless Abyss, the major super forces would probably have already settled it.

Now that Stone Forest City was open, it meant that the major forces were brought back to the starting point in the competition for the resources of the Bottomless Abyss. Although the advantage of the major super forces was still great, this was the greatest fairness for the major ordinary forces.

If they were lucky, it was not impossible to soar into the sky, after all, the Bottomless Abyss was now the front line in God's Domain. Needless to say, the items dropped or obtained here were currently the best.

At the same time, the Zero Wing Residence in White River City of Star-Moon Kingdom also became overcrowded. Almost every moment, a large number of players poured in, making the surrounding blocks of the Zero Wing Residence extremely congested. The magnificent scene made the new players in White River City dumbfounded.

In the Zero Wing Residence, Unyielding Heart and Mu Lingsha also managed to walk in, which made the two of them sigh.

In the residences of the major super forces, although many forces came to join or look for cooperation opportunities every day, compared to the current Zero Wing Residence, it was completely insignificant.

The number of force representatives they saw at the gate alone exceeded a hundred, including high-level members of first-rate and second-rate guilds.

First-rate guilds and second-rate guilds were not worth mentioning to super forces like them, but that was in the case of two or three. Dozens of first-rate guilds and second-rate guilds gathered together, and even a super guild would not dare to ignore this force.

And this kind of power was now gathered in the Zero Wing Residence, which instantly gave them a feeling that their identities were completely reversed. It seemed that at this moment, Zero Wing was the super force, and their War Soul Alliance was just an ordinary force...

At this time, not only Unyielding Heart and the two of them thought so, but almost all the high-level members of the major forces who came had the same idea.

The high-level members of the major first-rate guilds originally thought that they could be equal to Zero Wing, even if Zero Wing had the strength to surpass first-rate guilds, it was still not a super force after all.

But now seeing this scene, one by one understood how naive their previous thoughts were.

The current Zero Wing may not have the substance of a super force, but it also has the foundation and confidence that a super force does not have. It is not like a super force, but it is better than a super force.

Bottomless Abyss, Stone Forest City.

Shi Feng had only been busy in the City Lord's Mansion for less than two hours when Aqua Rose and Bai Qingxue were frantically contacting him.

"Guild Leader, there are already more than a hundred forces in the Black Dragon Empire who want to cooperate with us, including five first-rate guilds and seventeen second-rate guilds. Should we cooperate with them?" Bai Qingxue asked.

"Guild Leader, the same is true for White River City Residence, but there are also two super forces here, including War Soul Alliance, which has cooperation with us. They all want to get the right to station in Stone Forest City, and the conditions they have put forward are quite generous." Aqua Rose couldn't help but say with some excitement.

Their Zero Wing started from scratch, and was not comparable to the old guilds. If they could get the conditions given by these big guilds, it would definitely allow Zero Wing to undergo a qualitative change. Even if it could not compare to the existing scale of those super forces, it would probably not be much different.

"So many forces?" Shi Feng couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he heard this.

Although he had long known how tempting Stone Forest City was to the major forces, being able to attract so many big forces was something even the holy city of a super force could not do.

"Guild Leader, what should we do now?" The two looked at Shi Feng in the screen, and wanted to know what to do next.

Now that there were too many forces coming, even if Stone Forest City was a beginner guild city, it was impossible to allow so many forces to station in Stone Forest City. It would be the limit to bring in three or five.

"So many forces have gathered, it would be a waste not to use them." Shi Feng pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Before, the major super forces had their own商会 (shānghuì, chambers of commerce/consortiums), so let's start a new商会 (shānghuì, chambers of commerce/consortiums) for our Zero Wing from today. Let's call it Candlelight Trading Firm. The premise for these forces to cooperate with us is to join the商会 (shānghuì, chambers of commerce/consortiums) first. Then we can cooperate in the form of a商会 (shānghuì, chambers of commerce/consortiums)."

Zero Wing joining the Heavenly Secret商会 (shānghuì, chambers of commerce/consortiums) was very good, but after being kicked out by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion once, Shi Feng had already understood that Zero Wing still needed to have its own商会 (shānghuì, chambers of commerce/consortiums).

There were no such conditions before, but now that there were, they naturally could not be missed.

"But what about the stationing spots they want?" Aqua Rose had talked a lot with the representatives of the major forces. They were all staring at the stationing spots. These people would definitely not agree to simply join the商会 (shānghuì, chambers of commerce/consortiums) without giving them spots.

"Then learn from the Heavenly Secret商会 (shānghuì, chambers of commerce/consortiums). Only by becoming a senior member of the Candlelight Trading Firm can they have the right to station. Ordinary members can enjoy an 80% discount on the city entry fee for Stone Forest City." Shi Feng smiled and said, "The more you pay, the more you get, so they won't have any complaints, right?"

Aqua Rose and Bai Qingxue's eyes lit up when they heard this.

This was definitely a good way. If it could be done, then Zero Wing's commercial channels would definitely reach an unprecedented height. Ordinary super forces might not be comparable. At that time, even if their Zero Wing did not have the income from Stone Forest City, they could get a terrifying income from the Candlelight Trading Firm.
